PHOTOGRAPHS

The publishers are grateful to Columbia Pictures for their kind permission to reproduce photographs from the 1995 motion picture, Sense and Sensibility, directed by Ang Lee. This film was a huge international success and won many awards, including an Oscar for the screenplay written by Emma Thompson, who also acted the part of Elinor. The film was very faithful to the novel and brilliantly conveyed Jane Austen’s wit and irony to a modern audience.
